Todoist makes it easy to collaborate with anyone—share projects, assign tasks, and discuss details with coworkers or loved ones.
The number of collaborators that can join a project depends on the account plan:
| PLAN | INVITE UP TO |
| Free | 5 people |
| Pro | 25 people |
| Business | 50 people |
Quick tip
Share a project
- Right-click the project and select Share.
- Type in the name or email address of the person you want to share with.
If the person you're inviting doesn't have a Todoist account, they’ll receive a project invite email with the option to set up a free account.
- Click Invite to send the invitation(s).
Everyone you share a project with will have full access to all of the information, like tasks, comments, and uploaded files. They can add new tasks, assign tasks, complete tasks, add comments, and upload new files to the project.
Share a parent project
If you'll share a parent project with someone, they won't automatically have access to its sub-projects. You'll need to invite them to each sub-project.
However, if you'll remove them from a shared parent project, they'll automatically lose access to all of its sub-projects.
